Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
Will build Bangladesh as ‘Sonar Bangla’, vows PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday vowed to build Bangladesh as ‘Sonar Bangla’ in the near future as Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman wanted to ensure a better and decent life for the people of this country.
“We must build ‘Sonar Bangla’ as dreamt by you (Bangabandhu). The day is not far away. It’s our commitment to you,” she said while addressing the nation during the formal inauguration of the ‘Mujib Borsho’ celebrations marking the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation.
Noting that Bangladesh now enjoys a dignified position in the world stage, the Prime Minister said the country will have to march forward further to establish it as a hunger- and poverty-free and developed one as dreamt by the Father of the Nation.
On the birth centenary of Bangabandhu, she called upon the young generation to love the country and its people as well as build themselves as worthy citizens for moving with dignity in the world arena.
“My appeal to today's children, teenagers and youth generation is that you’ll love the country and the people of the country. This freedom we earned in exchange for many sacrifices. So, you’ll have to build yourselves as worthy citizens so that you can move keeping your head high as an independent nation in the world stage,” she said in her speech telecast by Bangladesh Television and different private TV channels.
Sheikh Hasina, the eldest daughter of Bangabandhu, also urged the young generation to develop their life with the ideals of the Father of the Nation and love the people as he did.
She extended the greetings of the ‘Mujib Borsho’ to all the citizens of Bangladesh living at home and abroad as well as all the people of the world.
The ‘Mujib Borsho’ celebrations started with fireworks at 8pm at historic Suhrawardy Udyan in the city marking the birth centenary of the greatest Bangalee of all times and architect of independent Bangladesh.
President Md Abdul Hamid also addressed the nation during the inauguration of the ‘Mujib Borsho’.
Recalling the dedications and sacrifices Bangabandhu made for the wellbeing of the people of this country, the Prime Minister said he gifted this country named Bangladesh. “He had given the Bangalees the dignity of identity as a nation.”
